Home again - for now!

After replacing both shoulders in their sockets, one, the right, popped out again, so I had to go down once more and have it re-positioned - I'm now in two shoulder braces in the hope they will maintain the position till surgery. I think this story has a long way to run yet!

We got home at 5pm on Friday (15th) after running the gauntlet on Heygrove Ward after starting out on Kennet Ward. They wanted me to wait for my meds to come up from the Pharmacy before leaving. We eventually extracted 200mg of the necessary for tonight and Rob will pop in tomorrow to collect the main supply - it could be midnight before the singleton porter completes his round of delivering the meds.

I need to go back in for an operation to reposition the muscle into the damaged groove in the ball of the joint, right and maybe left too. It will limit my mobility but stop them popping.

The MRI Head Scan didn't show anything worrying so I will probably stay on meds to stop the fits until the EEG in Oxford in a few weeks time, meanwhile I'm to have my hernia fixed on the 5th July so it will be hello RBH yet again!

  1. Glad to know you're home (for now!) but sorry to hear more surgery on the agenda!! Look forward to seeing you on Wednesday? Suzanne said you're still planning to come, Laura has offered lift if you need one and can take me/Rachel/Gill & supplies too. Fingers crossed no more unexpected complications before then! xx
